Has it ever been said that Kat was waiting for a ring before giving up the goodies? I really hope that BtG doesn't go the prized virgin heroine becomes a rape victim route with Kat like Y&R did with Cricket and B&B did with Caroline. At least As the World Turns didn't have Lily raped, but Lily rushed into her first time and I also hope Kat doesn't rush into her first time.

I loved Robert Calhoun run (June 1989-July 1991) and it was his run that got GL to finally hit its stride after some pretty bad years. Unfortunately the ratings dropped during his run and that will forever disappoint me.

Sometime in the 1980s, sneak watching Y&R on a school break. I loved The Price is Right growing up so that naturally made me curious about the show that came on after. My 1980s school break memories of Y&R are mostly of the summer social issue storylines, cringy Danny concerts, and Cricket eating the show.

Thank you for posting the excerpts. I thought GL got better after Kim Zimmer 1990 departure (at least until Summer 1992), but unfortunately the ratings until Summer 1991 did not reflect the quality of the show.

That's unfortunate.

I do too. Andre is all up in his feelings and is so ready to move past booty call hook ups and the friends with benefits zone. Dani is holding herself back but she still doesn't realize that what's good for her is right in front of her face. Andre the hotness of BtG. Andre/Dani off the charts heat generating romantic chemistry. Love scenes set to an R&B slow jam. They fight with as much passion and heat as they love. Andre/Dani are the soap couple I didn't know I needed. No. Chelsea knows what's up. I loved her grin today when she walked in and saw Dani and Andre together.

Not every day, but I admit there's been more garbage time than good stuff.

Today's show I was like "what is this mess?"

Hahahaha, dead.

I had a feeling SF retirement was going to overlap w/ the 25th anniversary which it almost did. SF smartly walked away on her own terms and Stephanie got a proper sendoff fitting of the show's matriarch.

IKR. Vanessa is leaning more towards nasty ho than thirsty thot.

Thanks for the context on the clip in the broadcast. Does Kim Zimmer write about some of the years she lost (1986, 1998, 1999) or wasn't nominated (1988 and 1989).

With all this talk about 1986, does anyone know what episodes got Kim Zimmer the 1987 Lead Actress Emmy? The win is here 1987 Daytime Emmy's--Kim Zimmer Wins

100% this. Three from the southeast: Brandon Claybon (Tennessee), Sean Freeman (Alabama), and Jibre Hordges (Georgia).

Where is the garbage can emoji when we need one?

I would say Alexandra as well, and maybe Beth.

Not just HW changes, but also EP changes in that same era: Allen Potter (1976-1983), Gail Kobe (1983-1986), Joe Willmore (1986-1989), Robert Calhoun (1989-1991), JFP (1991-1995), Michael Laibson (1995-1996), Paul Rauch (1996-2002), John Conboy (2002-2004), Ellen Wheeler (2004-2009). P&G was shaken by 1978-1982 ABC big three huge rise and dominance, thus all the changes to their shows. 1986 Another World had been limping along for 7 years and GL began its slide whereas As the World Turns rebounded and became P&G's highest-rated and CBS's #2 daytime drama.

Thanks @DRW50. That channel has some good content.

I didn't think the P&G shows would tolerate their cast/crew indulging on set. We know about the partying that went down at the ABC shows BITD.

Oh yes. Do you mean Carlton?

It's known that Marcus Jordan had substance issues. Marcus Jordan Celebrates 40 Days of Sobriety Months After...

I can see Nicole kicking Ted to the curb and getting with Carlton. Wait till Silk Press Sheila gets a load of Carlton. She's been checking for all the males.

Murder, She Wrote appeals to viewers of all walks of life. It doesn't feel outdated at all and there's still that feeling of comfort and warmth when watching it. Murder, She Wrote was a show I took for granted as a kid/teen but its a show I appreciate so much more as an adult. I think it will live on forever in reruns, DVDs, streaming.

My jaw dropped when Vernon showed up at Dani's house. I'm like "oh snap, daddy's home and its about to go down". No father wants to find out that their daughter is involved with anyone, even if that daughter is grown and a divorced mother.

I can't imagine anyone other than Kim Zimmer as Reva. Whether you like her or not, Reva was GL's definitive character of the final 25 years.
